1) I have a programmable keyboard and am able to enter trades using hotkeys. This works well for the most part. I do have a major irritation however.
- I enter the trade with chart trader displayed albeit using a hotkey to open the trade.
- I would like to be able to change the quantity field (DOM and Chart Trader) value using hotkeys. At the moment I am having to use a mouse to do this which is very irritating if you want to scale out of a position and constantly have to take your hands off the keyboard to adjust the quantity value.
2) I often manage the trade with the DOM right next to the chart rather that use chart trader.
- Even though I have am trading the same instrument, the Qty field value can be different between Chart Trader and the DOM. This has caused me to make order errors more than once since it is easy to be too focused on the qty value in one window (Chart Trader typically), switch to using the DOM and forget to adjust the qty value there before placing the next order.
- Is there ever going to be a way to synchronize the qty value between the two order screens?
3) I have played with AutoHotKey (third party product) in an effort to botch a solution without success because I don't have the knowledge to program that well enough I suspect. If the windows are moved then AutoHotKey doesn't do what it is supposed to. It just seems that there should be functionality built in to Ninja for this to be robust.
4) It would be nice to have default quantities configured somewhere for a particular instrument. If that were accessible via a hotkey too then I would be happy.
